Speakers

Jane James - a nationally award-winning franchisor, Founder of Little Voices, a UK-wide performing arts network that supports and inspires tens of thousands of children every single week. With over 18 years of experience building a values-led franchise brand, Jane is known for her passion, integrity and ability to turn big vision into sustainable success. She is also the co-host of The School Run podcast, which she launched alongside her daughter Liv, creating honest conversations about confidence, creativity and the lessons school doesn’t always teach.

Jane is a dedicated wife and mum and, somewhat unexpectedly, a trained opera singer too. Jane shares her extraordinary journey to franchise success. With trademark openness and energy, she speaks candidly about obstacles she’s faced, pitfalls she’s navigated, and sanity-saving strategies that helped her build a business and a life aligned with her values. Expect insight, honesty, and plenty of opportunity to ask, quite literally, anything!
